Marc's Trip to Egypt

“My fear is being taken hostage,” said the 46-year-old, African-American police officer – who was patrolling the Louisville Trump Rally when he encountered Tarek Mounib – prior to the trip. A single father who raised two children, a son, now 22, and a daughter, 20, Spalding waited until his kids were independent enough for him to finally pursue his dream of being a cop (after years working as a heating & air specialist) and has now been serving on the force for the past eight years. “Learning about a different culture and people benefits me as a police officer,” he says. “People tend to look at everyone [in an ethnic group] all the same way, especially when something bad happens. And that’s just not the way it works. Being a person of color, I got a taste of discrimination early in life. We may all be one human race as a whole, but made up of different ethnicity groups, religious backgrounds, shades of color and individuality, because no two people are the same.” HOSTED BY: Mohamed Ragab, an independent journalist, with radical left- leanings and a unique perspective on American politics.
